Toyota Celica (Hatchbacks / All Years)
So after many years of the cargo cover banging and making noise over every bump, I did the unthinkable: I actually looked at it.
Underneath are two square inlets, one on the left and one on the right. The inlets have metal clips and it looks like there was something secured in there at some point. I wish I knew where my shop manual is, it probably shows a part right there in black and white! In any case, I am guessing that there should be a piece of rubber or such that should be in those inlets to help cushion the shelf.
To solve this, I used pipe insulation. This is a black, semi-stiff foam used to insulate pipes around the house. Its shape is a cylinder. I cut off a piece the width of the inlets. Cut the circular piece open and straightened it out. I then cut two pieces, one for each inlet and stuffed it in there. Given the foam still has a curve from its memory, I had to force it straight and rest the shelf on it, after disconnecting the two ties to the hatch. If the foam maintains its shape I will reconnect the ties to the hatch. If it does not maintain its shape and keeps curling over, then perhaps I will spec a stiffer foam that is shaped perfectly. In any case, this cost nothing and took five minutes.
Peterpan is there any real risk that my mechanic may not have replaced the entire lock mechanism? The new one works great, and that is my main concern. You say I would not break anything, well, I break everything, so I leave this stuff to the experts.
The feltlike cargo cover swivels on 2 plastic pins that are inserted snugly into 2 plastic holders on the side wall. The holders are removable ans sometimes get lost. Sold for a few bucks in the dealer.
The rear side of the cover rests on 2 pieces of foam on the side wall.
If not inserted and secured properly, the cover can make annoying banging noise every time you run over a bump. I hate all those bumping noise.
The whole power door lock mechanism is like $250 from the dealer and takes 2 to 3 days to order. If your mechanic fixed your door lock the same day, then he likely only replaced the little motor. Most repair shops know this fix and have motors ready.
For $80 its 1 hour labor with the motor. It's a fair deal.
For the $250 high price of the assembly, if you ordered it, he's supposed to show you the broken unit and how it failed, for you to keep, also the packaging of the new unit.
I drive my car very aggressively, so after 212K the engine mounts with rubber core are worn out. The engine vibrates a great deal when idled with transmission engaged.
It's embarrassing every time I carry female passengers. They would feel like their boobs were swinging uncontrollably and ready to fall off ...hehe.
So ordered both rear and front mounts in Amazon for $45. They claim to be made of high quality chinese rubber. Dealers' would cost about $180 for both.
I put the car on stands, took the driver-side tire off for access to the rear mount.
The rear side of the engine rides on a 17 mm cross bolt which goes through the rear mounts rubber core. It was very hard to turn. I used a half-inch ratchet wrench with a 30 inch long half in extension, cheap tool from China, to reach the bolt. I turned very hard, broke the rachet and extensions without being able to turn the bolt at all. repeat the same failure for the whole week. The bros had warned me that the bolt is hard to turn, but I did not expect it to be this hard.
The cheap steel extension tubes 30-inch long twisted so much under load that the torque was not delivered to the bolt.
I was desperate. I was gonna bring it into the shop, which quoted $300 labor plus parts. Dealer wanted $675 to replace both mounts.
Finally borrowed some professional Crafstman's tools, inserted the long extension tube on the bolt, rest the tube level on a hard pivot point like a car jack to keep it straight with the bolt's centerline, use a half-inch Craftsman wrench with a long extension, applied about 100 ft-lbs of torque on the extension. This time the bolt opened smoothly. Damn. This torque is about the same as opening the wheel lug.
The shops use compressed-air impact wrenches with up to 500- 600 ft-lb torque. So they can open this bolt quickly. With limited hand tools, the home mechanics just have to be more creative.
The bros can do this kind of job at home. I broke all those cheap steel tools from China without breaking anything in the car. So the car is safe.
If you have to get under the car, just make sure you raise the car and put the chassis frame on solid and level supports. Put concrete blocks, wood blocks or wheels under the chassis to make sure the car does not move or collapse.
By the way, I am a software engineer. But I usually come up with solutions for critical problems for the muscle-head mechanics in my neighborhood. So you can do it.
Good luck.
The timing chain cover plate is a large piece at the end of the engine block on passenger side.
It's right behind the pulleys and main serpentine belt, held onto the block with 14 bolts and 2 nuts.
Toyota recommends tightening all fasteners on the engine every 100K mile. This timing chain cover can leak oil, especially when the timing chain in cranking at high engine speed. Oil would be slung through the seal and spray out.
It's difficult to have access to these bolts. You have to remove the serpentine belt. Also need a long and straight box wrench to access the 2 bolts at the top.
When your engine leaks oil, it's prudent to check for the exact locations of the leaks carefully before fixing, or you may waste a lot of time with the wrong leaks.
1. Remove all engine plastic covers for access to the engine.
2. First tighten all bolts on engine: valve cover, timing chain tensioner plate, timing chain cover plate, oil sump, tighten oil filter...
3. Wipe clean all potential oil leaking joints and surfaces with engine cleaner or solvent.
4. Blow flour or baby powder on all potential leaking joints.
5. Run the car for a few days then check all joints to find the exact leaking spots and repair accordingly.
Chances are after tightening all bolts the leaks would have been fixed, you would find no more leaks and saved yourself a lot of unnecessary repairs.
Good luck.
Peterpan your input is awesome! I have a bad back and reasonable mechanic so I stick to tire rotations and oil changes, and leave the rest to the mechanic. I do solve a lot of little problems at work (IT also) and daily life around the house so we are definitely kindred spirits. But I especially enjoy your great descriptive stories of fixing problems on the Celica.
Isn't the timing gasket at risk of being burned or mishapen, and requiring replacement? I take it they are very hearty items?
Hi Guitarzan,
Thanks for your kind word. You are definitely kindred spirit.
I guess I do like this little Celica GTS. It's reliable, high-performance, fun and cheap to drive, and it fits my wants and needs perfectly. I guess I like to drive as fast as I can.
Via friends, I have access to Corvettes, Benzes, Porches, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Ashton Martin Vanquish etc... But I still think the Toyota GTS is a wonderful car, mostly because it's quick and precise to control in speeding, braking, turning ... more so than other high-performance cars.
Regarding the timing chain cover plate, it has a rubber gasket. The bros in NEWCELICA.ORG had tried to replace that gasket but they had to remove the engine block to do it properly. Otherwise that gasket will leak again. That would be way too much work. My guess was that the leak could be fixed by tightening the 14 bolts and 2 nuts. It turned out to be correct.
By 100K miles, I found lots of loose bolts on the engine and transmission. It's worth tightening them all while checking for leaks and worn oil, fluid and coolant hoses etc...
For a guy with bad back you do a lot with oil change and tire rotation. I do the oil change because I can do it quicker at home that driving the car to the shop and sit around and wait. I also use Toyota filter and synthetic oil so I only have to change oil every 15K or when it looks black and smelled burned.
But I made a deal with a local tire shop nearby to do tire rotation, balancing and flat repairs for the same price as Costco. They can order and install any new tires I chose and do all services very quickly while I wait. They take good care of my tires for very low cost. Recommended.
I Installed an after-market set of front and rear engine mounts in a GTS 2002.
The car now has more vibration at idle than before with OEM mounts. Apparently the rubber material may be stiffer than factory's.
Therefore aftermarket engine mounts are not recommended. For $50 more, buy Toyota's engine mount for smooth idling.
Replacing the rear engine mount involves serious work and risks of damages or injuries. You need to raise the car about 6 inches for access to the fasters from underneath. There are risks of being pinned under the car if it's not supported properly.
Local shops here only want $90-100 plus part to replace the rear engine mount. I suggest the bros to leave it to the shops with proper equipments and tools to do with minimum risks.
The aftermarket seems to work fine after braking in for a few weeks. Only $45 for the set front and rear mounts, a good deal.
The OEM rear mount has a 2 in rod with a small cylindrical rubber counterweight on top. The new after market has a bump n top. It works fine. The engine idles smoothly. Severe vibration with the worn rear mount was gone. I just dont know how long it last . The OEM set lasted 220K. The front mount is like new. The rear mount was completely torn of rubber damping due to my harshing downshifting.
if engine temperature does not go up to 180 deg F, mid range on the gauge, within 10 minutes of driving, then pretty sure the thermostat is stuck open.
Cold engines dont run smoothly or efficiently with high-performance. Thermo should be replaced. TOYOTA thermos is like $18, highly recommended. Both 1ZZ and 2ZZ are the same with lay out of the Thermo.
The thermostat is inside a L-shape aluminum hose, hooked up to the black coolant hose about 3-inch DIA, at the front, bottom of the engine block, passenger side, right underneath and behind the alternator. It's held onto the engine block by a trapperzhoidal bracket onto 2 small studs with 2 x 10 mm nuts.
Contrary to popular belief, you dont have to do the big job removing the alternator and the main serpentine belt to access the thermostat. There is a much quicker and easier way to do it.
Take a trash bag under the thermostat to collect coolant under the engine. When you pull the thermostat out, about half gallon of coolant will spill from engine block.
Use a universal joint adapter with 10 mm socket and ratchet wrench to clear the alternator and remove the 2 x 10 mm nuts.
Grab the black rubber hose with your right hand and the aluminum head with your left hand, squeeze and pull the rubber hose while wiggling the head clear of the alternator and pull it out.
Believe me it will come out. I have done it many times Sure beats the long hard work of removing the alternator and redoing the serpentine belt. [non-permissible content removed].
Check around the thermo hole for debris, NICK, CRACKS or damages. Clean it up. Dont let coolant leak through cracks.
Put the new thermo and its gasket into the aluminum head with the spring going forward, into the engine block, and the notch and hole on the edge of the thermo near the top position of to recirculate coolant.
Again squeeze and wiggle the thermostat pass the alternator to sit flush on the hole. Check and make sure everything sits flat and fits well before using the universal joint adapter to tighten the 2 x 10 mm nuts. Torque should be around 30 in-lbs. Dont overtorque and strip the threaded studs.
This procedure is so easy I will use it in the future to drain coolant from the block. Sure beats going under the car. That and opening up the clamp at the bottom of the radiator hose below the cooling fan, will drain may be 90% coolant from the car.

Kumho Ecsta PA31 all-season high performance tire, rated V 500 AAA
I bought a set of 1 SUMITOMO HTR-Z Ultra High Performance Summer. $360 with life-time balance, rotate, repairs etc..
Had about 10K miles with about 2/3 tread left. The front tires had some uneven wear. The tire is fun to drive, but is known for poor wet traction.
I just got in a spin on a rainy freeway off ramp, driving carefully at about 30 MPH. Everything was riding fine, then suddenly the tires lost all traction. The car spinned out, jumped a high curb, dragging the engine bottom on the edge of the curb, hit a wooden post (12 Inch DIA), broke it clear off the concrete base, continue riding on the curb until I was able to steer it off the curb.
Elec Stability Control would probably prevented that spin.
The bumper had a long but shallow vertical dent. The hood was bent just a little. If the car did not hit the wooden post, it may have gone over into a 20-feet ravine, which most likely total the car and cause some injuries.
During the spin, I was trying valiantly to steer the car this way then that way trying to recover the traction with no luck. My quick glances saw no other cars coming from behind so there was no secondary collision. Very lucky I did not get hit from behind.
It scared me now that I used to drive these tires at 80-90 MPH on freeway even during rain. Lucky they were all straight and wide freeways. Any sharp turns or quick lane changes would likely spin the car.
I have seen quite a few sports coups spin out even on straight road in light rain. I used to drive fast passed these shaken people in their expensive sports coups and laugh at them...
So no more Ultra-High Performance Summer tires for me. I was looking into Tirerack and found Kumho Ecsta PA31 rated top over other similar tires. The speed rating is V with tread wear rated 500, which is like 50K miles. I had before Kumho ECSTA with good dry and wet traction, wear long and evenly, but the sidewall is weaker so the turns are mushy. Also the tires were noisy after about 20K miles. But I have to make sure my a$$$ wont get spinned down into a ditch in the rain. So safety first.
$272 per set plus shipping and mounting, probably about $450 total, not a bad deal.

PORTLAND — What if Bernie Carbo hadn't hit that home run in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series? What if the Red Sox pinch hitter had swung and missed on the pitch before? It would have been strike three.
Bernie Carbo, right, talks with Jana and Scott Doughty of York, and their son, Luke, 9. Carbo and Luke Doughty threw out first pitches.

Bernie Carbo, who hit a key home run for the Boston Red Sox in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series, throws out the first pitch at Hadlock.
Gordon Chibroski/Staff Photographer
It would have been the third out of the eighth inning. The Cincinnati Reds of Pete Rose and Johnny Bench would have held a three-run lead, needing just three more outs to win the World Series.
Carlton Fisk would not have hit his winning home run in the bottom of the 12th inning. The home run with the iconic moment of Fisk standing, waving and willing the ball to stay fair.
Instead, Carbo's weak, flailing swing got enough of the pitch to dribble the ball foul. He had another chance.
Bernie Carbo was at damp, drizzly Hadlock Field on Tuesday night. He threw out the first pitch to start the doubleheader with Trenton. He autographed copies of his book, "Saving Bernie Carbo" beneath the stands.
He brought a patch of sunlight wherever he went. He was irrepressible. He doesn't mind playing the what-if game but his what-if has nothing to do with baseball.
And everything to do with the spiritual faith that came to him so late in life.
"What if God hadn't picked me up out of the grave?" he asked before he walked to the mound. "Ever think about that?"
He told the Boston Globe in 2010 he was high on drugs or alcohol for much of a promising career that went nowhere.
He couldn't find what he was looking for in baseball. So he looked elsewhere.
He said and did outrageous things that made him very different in a sport that strongly defended its conservatism and traditions. Which is why he became so friendly with Red Sox pitcher Bill Lee, a fellow iconoclast.
"You know how we became friends? He was in the locker room talking about saving the whales, and I went and got a tray of barbecue chicken and dumped it over his head. He looked at me and said, 'I like that.' "
Carbo traveled with a rather large stuffed gorilla he named Mighty Joe Young, which sat in the middle seat next to him on plane trips.
He had a tendency of tampering with his bats, more to amuse himself than get extra hits. He'd shave them, sometimes wiping out all the markings. And then he would get a magic marker and scrawl "Louisville Slugger" on the barrel.
We had 15 minutes to talk and the words jumped out of his mouth. The Cincinnati Reds drafted him in the first round of baseball's first amateur draft in 1965.
Did I know who was drafted more than 200 picks after him?
"Nolan Ryan," said Carbo, with his big smile. Could I imagine that all those teams rated him ahead of the Hall of Fame pitcher?
Carbo hit .310 in 125 games in his rookie season with the Reds, playing the outfield. He showed power, hitting 21 home run and driving in 63. He couldn't match those numbers over the next two seasons and was traded to St. Louis.
The Cardinals traded Carbo and pitcher Rick Wise to the Red Sox for outfielder Reggie Smith and pitcher Ken Tatum.
In Boston, it had rained for three days before Game 6 was played. The Red Sox had batting practice at Tufts University but Carbo said he couldn't find the campus and never got in his hitting. He wasn't exactly ready when Manager Darrell Johnson told him to pinch hit in the eighth inning.
Johnson had used Carbo as a pinch hitter in Game 3. Carbo hit a home run that day. Game 6 was a different story. Everything was on the line. When the ball left Fenway Park, Carbo ran the bases, hollering at old friends on the Reds.

This test measures the types of protein in the fluid (serum) part of a blood sample.
See also:
Lipoprotein electrophoresis
A blood sample is needed. For information on giving a blood sample from a vein, see venipuncture
Electrophoresis is a laboratory technique. The blood serum (the liquid part of the blood without the cells) is placed on specially treated paper and exposed to an electric current. The proteins in the serum move on the paper to form bands that show the proportion of each protein fraction. A fraction may contain several different types of proteins.
Individual proteins, except albumin
, are not usually measured. However, protein fractions or groups ARE measured. The levels of protein fractions can be estimated by measuring the total serum protein and then multiplying that by the relative percentage of each protein fraction.
Lipoprotein electrophoresis is a type of protein electrophoresis that determines the amount of proteins made up of protein and fat, called lipoproteins (such as LDL cholesterol).
You may be asked not to eat or drink for 12 hours before a lipoprotein electrophoresis test.
Your health care provider may ask you to stop taking drugs that could affect the test. Do not stop taking any medications without first talking to your health care provider.
Drugs that can affect the measurement of total proteins include chlorpromazine, corticosteroids, isoniazid, neomycin, phenacemide, salicylates, sulfonamides, and tolbutamide.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Proteins are made from amino acids
and are important components of all cells and tissues. There are many different kinds of proteins in the body with many different functions. Examples of proteins include enzymes, certain hormones, hemoglobin
, low-density lipoprotein ("bad" cholesterol), and others.
Serum proteins are classified as albumin or globulins. Albumin is the protein of highest concentration in the serum. It carries many small molecules, but is also important for keeping fluid from leaking out from the blood vessels into the tissues.
Globulins are divided into alpha-1, alpha-2, beta, and gamma globulins. In general, alpha and gamma globulin protein levels increase when there is inflammation in the body.
Note: g/dL = grams per deciliter
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Decreased total protein may indicate:
Increased alpha-1 globulin proteins may be due to:
Decreased alpha-1 globulin proteins may be a sign of:
Increased alpha-2 globulin proteins may indicate:
Decreased alpha-2 globulin proteins may indicate:
Increased beta globulin proteins may indicate:
Decreased beta globulin proteins may indicate:
Increased gamma globulin proteins may indicate:
Note: Blood test results may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

Khronos Starts Intitiative for 3-D Graphics on the Web
The Khronos consortium seized an offer from Mozilla and would like to create an accelerated, royalty-free standard for 3D graphics on the Web.
A working group, entitled "Accelerated 3D on Web," has been established and is chaired by Mozilla. The goal is to have the first results of this effort ready within 12 months.
All interested parties are invited to take part. The working group will test a diverse array of applications for an API that the accelerated 3D graphics will make useable. OpenGL and OpenGL ES 2.0 along with JavaScript are among the prospects.
OpenGL and its applications are available on almost every desktop system. In the future, JavaScript is to become more and more efficient. Mozilla has recommended the use of the OpenGL ES 2.0 API in connection with a JavaScript container, along with the standardized version of the ECMAScript. Khronos member Google wants to bring its experience with graphics and web development to the fold.

A- hazy light golden straw with a fluffy white head. Head retention is decent, and there are well defined rings of lacing.
S- orange peel, coriander, the back end has some real grassy hops. All in all, it smells like a witbier.
T- the hops have a bit more presence than the aroma would suggest. Still though, there isn't much "IPA" in this one. All of that aside, its a pretty good witbier. Orange peel, coriander, and herbal hops All come together in relative harmony with a very refreshing finish.
M- medium bodied, light carbonation, watery finish. Perfect for hot weather.
O- needs some more hops is they want to stamp IPA on the side of their can.

Hazy golden hued with almost an orange like tint. Brussels lacing. A thin layer of white foam mostly covers the top of the beer. Hints of coriander and a stronger smell of citrus hops is what I get out of the aroma. The body is light,fairly crisp and refreshing. The flavor is a nice balance of citrus hops and some gently added coriander. This is pretty well balanced and refreshing.

A straw colored, crisp IPA with a modicum of sweetness and a nice balance between citrus bitterness and tangy Belgian notes. I'd say this is more of a highly hopped Wit or white IPA than strictly Belgian IPA. Very clean, and mostly dry and refreshing overall. The fact that it comes in a can is great for summer activities. In fact, this was one of my go-to beers over this last summer. Hits just the right notes on a hot summer day while not being too light or bland. A well made beer.

Into a stemless snifter:
A: hazy somewhat bright yellow body with a quickly dieing less than a finger white head
S: grapefruit, coriander, with lemon
T: bitter citrus, light hops appear and to help balance some sweetness that comes out
M: light to medium, sessionable, carbonation seems spot on and good for me
O: uh .... no yeast whatsoever anywhere in this one, hmmm.... am I complaining - no, because typically I usually like subdued yeastiness or none at all, so this is great to me, but to the real "Belgian beer" connoisseur, uh... this one may not be your cup of tea

Canned on 9/30/12
A - Plentiful carbonation feeding the solid half inch of sudsy white head. The beer is a hazy bright yellow. Might be too much carbonation now that I think about it.
S - Smells of juicy grapefruit bitterness, touch of spicy coriander, with a bit of lemon rind.
T - Wow it's got a heavy lemon bite right off the bat. Second sip reveals a hop bitterness like biting a grapefruit with a slightly spicy coriander edge. Taste does seem very balanced making it very drinkable.
M - Light and sudsy the carbonation really lifts the beer despite the ABV being 6%
Overall I love some white IPA's they take the best aspect of a Witbier and hop it up to really add a zippy taste to the Beligum Yeast. A very tasty offering.

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 9/30/2012. Pours hazy golden straw color with a 2 finger fluffy bright white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings down the glass, with a lot of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, pear, orange peel, grapefruit, coriander, clove, wheat, pepper, floral, herbal, light bubblegum, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance, strength, and complexity of fruity and spicy notes. Taste of lemon, grapefruit, orange peel, pear, coriander, clove, wheat, pepper, floral, herbal, light bubblegum, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of citrus, citrus peel, light fruits, coriander, clove, wheat, pepper, floral, herbal, and earthiness on the finish fora good bit. Fantastic balance of fruitiness with spices, with very nice complexity; and zero cloying flavors present after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied; with a moderately creamy and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a highly excellent white IPA! Great balance and complexity of nicely robust flavors; and extremely smooth to drink. A highly enjoyable offering.

I tried this at Peachtree lounge in Harrisburg, served on tap in a pint.
The color is mostly clear golden with a thin white cap and lace that clings well. The smell is spicy with lemony hops and mild coriander like aroma with some belgian yeast notes
The feel is good with a medium light body with semi-spiced feel and medium carbonation with slight bitterness and some wheat sweetness.
The flavor of this Belgian IPA is more on the Wit side than IPA which is decent with some subtle pepper and lemony notes which seem hop initiated but there is a mild wheat element which seems to slightly dampen the hop bitterness and bring a more toasted wheat taste to the forefront. The hops and spices combine to add a mild soapiness which is not offensive but doesn't enhance the flavor. Overall a good wheat but less of an IPA which seems to be the case when you hybridize a wit and IPA one style has to take precedence. I dislike the name IPA because you expect a lot more hops -A case of marketing over flavor I suppose

Served in a pint glass, on tap here at the Woodhaven House, Queens NY.
Appearance: gold light bubbles on the body, white head is maybe a notch over a 1/4" coming off the the body.
Smell: light floral scent but this beer smells almost like nada, which is better than bad.
Taste: this beer goes in a very good direction with complexity, light bitterness comes off creamy in a very unique way.
Mouth: medium maybe a little heavy to some. After taste maybe a little (honey) sweet or it could be just me.
Overall: very good brew would buy it again in a heart beat I as a matter of fact I will. Salud!

A cloudy yellow gold color with a very healthy white foam on top and luscious lacing. The aroma brings a pleasant vinegar citrus, kind of a neat skunky hop. The flavor comes on with an oaky citrus bite and yeasty lemon bread. It's got a light body but offers a smooth, well carbonated feel. A tasty easy hop drinker with a bit of a bite. Well worth trying, one of the best white IPA's I've had so far.

Picked up a 6-pack at EuroMarket, the cans were stamped July, but the beer tastes plenty fresh. This is a lighter-bodied IPA with a lot of the same earthy spice you're used to in other Belgian IPAs. The hops bring a juicy mix of apricot, tangerine, and mild pine. Mmmm. A mighty fine pale ale here—drinkable and satisfying.

12 oz bottle, pours a slightly cloudy pale gold. Fluffy white head that settles down slowly; lacing is patchy and doesn't cling to the glass. A fairly complex, hoppy aroma with a lot going on: spiciness, citrus fruits, floral notes, just a touch of the malt; smells really appetizing.
The flavor is a well-blended mix of spice and pepper notes, grapefruit, orange, and lemon, and just a bit of biscuity malt propping things up underneath as in the nose. There's an overall Belgian yeast flavor that meshes nicely with the hops. Bitterness is moderate and not particularly lingering and the finish is dry.
Medium-light bodied, solid carbonation, fairly crisp feel, maybe a little fizzy for my tastes.
I found this beer to be really interesting initially but it's one of those that dissipates quickly and becomes less interesting, not more, as it opens up a bit. Something about the flavor in particular is a bit shallow although the yeastiness lingers on a bit, more so than the hops. Overall this is a pretty nice canned IPA, unique and very drinkable, but not something I would make a priority to try or buy again.

a light hazy orange-yellow with 2 fingers of white fluffy head and nice retention.
smells of orange peel, coriander, pepper, bready yeast, grassy hops (very saison - like)
spicy bitterness up front balanced up immediately with a sweet orange/coriander taste. bready, spicy yeasty flavor in the back. a very delicious offering from blue point - probably their best tasting beer in my opinion (so far).
light-medium body, moderate with carbonation.. a spicy/creamy feel on the lips.
a very refreshing ale, very tasty, and as far as the brewery's releases go - this is one of their best.

Nice hazy gold with a nice head and good retention. Some lace on the sides and some light carbonation to go with a thin covering. Smell is is quite full of pine and a Belgian yeast doughiness with some big sweet dinner rolls. A touch of pepper and citrus. Taste has a malt body that is reminiscent of a tripel with a nice pine hoppiness on top. Sweet pearl and crystal malt with a healthy wheat component makes this super easy on the tongue. Nice compliment of Belgian spice in the mix. Clean, dry, hoppy finish with a touch of hop oil lingering. Feel is crisp and dry with a lovely quenching character. Carbonation is spot on and weight is on the lighter side of medium giving this brew high sessionability. An artful interpretation of the style and I will be looking for this one near me. Great brew to have around the house. Much love to my good friend Harry Smith for bringing me a few cans of this good stuff.

Poured into a pint glass. Bottom of the can says JUL 14 2012 which I assume is a production date.
A- Pours a semi-hazy dark golden color with a 3/4 inch white head that retains well before slowly meandering down to an 1/8 inch head and sudsy, trickly lacing.
S- Vibrant hops with a nice kick of Belgian yeast to create that classic BIPA aroma. Some grapefruit and lemon notes along with fresh grass and spice.
T- Well-balanced citrus flavor surrounded by a Belgian template with the yeast providing just enough spice and richness to compliment the hops. Drinkability is high as I take multiple sips easily and enjoyably. Notes of orange, coriander and lemongrass. Mildly bitter.
M- Smooth, almost too smooth as it tends to be a bit watery. Medium carbonation and a lightish body since it's not heavy on the malt.
O- A great melding of citrusy IPA and yeasty, spicy Belgian. Easy to drink, hence the choice of a can container making it possible to down a sixer in one sitting, but still flavorful enough to know you're drinking a BIPA.

A: Pours a very lightly hazy (almost clear) pale to medium golden yellow in color with very light gentle visible carbonation at the surface of the beer. The beer has a half finger tall creamy white head that reduces to a mottled thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a medium ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Light to moderate aromas of floral hops and peppery spices.
T: Light amounts of pale malts upfront with some peppery spices and light hop bitterness in the finish.
M: Slightly lighter than medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Smooth and slightly dry in the finish.
O: Light and refreshing, very easy to drink and enjoyable. This is a nice hot weather beer and is very sessionable.

A - Pours with two fingers of bone white foam on top of a hazy, golden body. The foam settles fairly rapidly and leaves loose sheets of lace on the glass.
S - Spicy hops with a touch of line and grapefruit. Some yeasty clove and malt in the background.
T - Bready malt up front with some grainy pilsner notes and clove. Hops come out in the middle, grapefruit and pine. The finish is full of more clove and some banana with a bit of herbal hop flavor and moderate bitterness.
M - Medium-thick body, moderate carbonation, and a balanced finish.
D - it is described as a belgian ipa, but i get the impression is might be intended to be something more like an ipa/wit hybrid. The hops work relatively well, though they aren't as strong as I would like them to be, but the yeast is where everything falls apart. The is just too much clove and a flat malt flavor with grainy notes. Not something I would drink again.

A: single finger white foam head with nice retention on a cloudy pale golden with brownish hues body. scattered lacing.
S: lots of aroma even through the head with pineapple, banana, belgian yeast and clove. A lot of saison qualities here with the hops more earthy also providing hints of grapefruit.
T: club soda provides a dryness and mustiness. Flavor moves to mild fruitness and some yeast finishing with herbal and slightly bitter floral hops.
M: medium body and moderate carbonation and semi dry finish.
Overall: Had higher expectations after the aroma. The beer isnt bad, just has a lot of the musty, dry soda flavor. I will say that for the "white IPAs" out there, this is one of the better ones.

On tap at Sawmill Tap Room on 8/31/12.
A - orangish gold with no head when it arrived
S - huge herbal and spicy hop notes, a bit floral, peppery
T - floral, big herbal hops again, pepper, rye maybe, faint citrus, bitter finish; this is all hops, they're bold and intense.
M - medium bodied, crisp, smooth, well carbonated
What a hop bomb! The hops were exploding everywhere! I thought the choice of herbal, spicy hops complimented the peppery yeast notes. The only real downside to this beer is palate fatigue. The hops are intense, and they will quickly mess with your taste buds. Even so, this beer is definitely worth a try!

If memory serves (and it may not, so feel free to correct me), this was part of a major score from a Pinocchio's visit a few weeks ago. I love visiting that place as they always have some new CANs for me.
Not much on the CAN itself: "Malt Beverage brewed with spices", but the design is meant to look like the mosaics in each of the NYC subway stations. Hee hee.
The Crack and inverted Glug came off without a hitch and I was off and running. The thick, dense, massive head had an odd shade to it, slightly yellow, but not enough to qualify it as many shades of white to which I usually allude. Let's call it "eggshell white" with great retention and move on. Color was an oh-so-slightly-hazy golden-yellow. The nose had a peppery spiciness to it and following my last such beer, I literally began to sneeze. I was glad that this one was to be tonight's finale as I am getting my fill. In this case, it was more the spice than the yeast driving everything. Mouthfeel was medium and while it had a definite spicy bite on the tongue, I did not sense it in the same way as the coriander of the previous beer. Was my palate becoming desensitized? Did they use less coriander than Upslope? I do not know, but this was more Baby Bear-style in my estimation (just right) as opposed to Papa Bear-style (too much) in the Upslope. Or I could be mis-identifying the spice in this altogether. No matter. I was really enjoying this one and when the spice coupled with the hops, I was in ecstasy. To say that this was dry would be to do it an injustice. This was the Zephyr winds blowing across the Sahara Desert dry and I was all for it! I am not sure how it would be at the beach, but on Hula in the Coola Day (01 Feb, annually), it would be fantastic.

A- looks like Hoegaarden, light straw color, qiute pale. A decent 1+ finger head and some sticky lacing.

This was served from the tap at The Ginger Man in Greenwich, CT. The beer arrived in a tapered pint glass, and glowed a deep golden honey color. This showed a one finger head of white foam, leaving splotchy lacing as it slowly descended. Carbonation appeared mild, and a light haze, with little flecks of sediment permeated the liquid. The nose was hugely complex, with wheat and clove as the grain bill, alongside juicy citric hops of grapefruit, bubblegum esters, huge plastics and medicinal phenols, robust strawberry and mango fruitiness, and the distant sweetness of birch beer. Our first impression was that it tasted just like Juicyfruit bubblegum. As we sipped, a flavoring much like the aroma unfolded. We started with wheat up front, with sweeter tropical fruits, and spicy grapefruit bitterness. Bubblegum esters and soft juicy, floral hops pulled us to the peak, where more esters and the fruit from the nose hit hard. The hops also persisted, with an additional cutting bite of phenolic plastics. The end was with more clove, spicy alcohol, and that sweeter fruit from the nose to, here, refreshingly cut the bitterness. The aftertaste breathed of mango, bitter hop freshness, wet wheat, and dirty minerals. The body was medium, and the carbonation was medium. The latter was prickling and wetting. There was nice slurp and froth to each sip, and the mouth is left satiated and watering. The abv was appropriate, and the beer drank easily.
Overall, what we enjoyed most about this brew was the insanely robust, super complex nose. There was huge fruit, fresh, juicy hops, bold plastics, and bright clovey phenols. The flavoring was almost as robust, with equally as deep complexity. This is not an everyday beer, but it was great for the style. If we had one complaint it is the look, as we always like to see that massive Belgian IPA head of foam, which was sadly absent here.

A-Pours a moderately cloudy honey/golden color. Head is smaller than anticipated. A thin white layer that dies off. Head does leave consistent lacing strings.
S-Light clove and coriander gives way to some nice tropical fruity hops. Bubblegum notes too. Also some cracker and noticeable grain.
T-Taste is a bit less interesting. Hops are not resounding. The spiced notes of coriander, clove and bubblegum are still there. Hops are lightly floral but stress more citrus than anything else. Low bitterness level.Fairly complex, but not intense in any one area. Grains and cracker with considerable sweetness.
M-A bit syrupy but pleasing.Not very dry or bitter. Vibrating carbonation. Decently sessionable.
O/D-Was expecting a bit more muscularity with the hops. This beer is complex and unique but balanced between all the beer's aspects. A nice take on the White IPA. Not a bad price tag either.

A thanks goes out to woodychandler for keeping me in canned beers. Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a cloudy golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of citrus, hops, and spice. Taste is the same, citrus and spices, hoppy and bitter, a touch of malts. Feels full bodied in the mouth and overall is an enjoyable beer. Well done.
Serving type: can

"It's important to remember that the exploitation and abuse of our most vulnerable citizens affects us all," explains Wendy Mahoney, Executive Director of MCADV. "These are our parents, our grandparents, and if we are blessed to live long enough, will be us too. We need to be equipped to help them, and hopefully eliminate elder abuse altogether. Together, we have the strength."
The discussion will be conducted by Richard Courtney of Courtney Elder Law Associates. Courtney will cover such topics as major signals and symptoms of an abused or exploited older adult, planning steps to reduce susceptibility to abuse, neglect or exploitation, and legal measures to take to stop suspected abuse or exploitation of an older adult..
The Elder Abuse Discussion is for assisted living workers, counselors, social workers, law enforcement, law makers, friends and family of elder adults, and anyone who is interested in understanding how to prevent or intervene in the exploitation of an older adult.
There is no cost to attend but the Coalition asks would-be attendees to RSVP to 1-800-898-3234 or email@example.com

28th Annual Vaquero Show and Sale
Featuring equestrian demonstrations, Vaquero-inspired horse tack and Western collectibles for sale, and entertainment to honor the lifestyle and renowned horsemanship of the California cowboy. Proceeds benefit the Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum

Where: Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum, 3596 Sagunto St., Santa Ynez
Cost: Not available
Age limit: Not available
Categories: Special Events
Vaqueros developed on the expansive cattle ranchos of Central California during the Spanish/Mexican Colonial period. They blended classic European horsemanship and the 'rough and ready' riding style of early California ranchers which evolved into a distinctive style of apparel, tack, saddles and other unique equine equipment.
All proceeds from the Vaquero Show benefit the non-profit Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum and Carriage House in its mission to collect, preserve and share the rich history of the Santa Ynez Valley and to tell the early western transportation story. The Vaquero Show is a community event, sponsored, in part, by the Santa Ynez Valley Hotel Association (www.SYVHA.com), museum members and local business supporters.

1128 20th St S, Birmingham, AL | Directions 3520533.500588 -86.796306
Neighborhoods: Five Points South
poor service – long wait for drinks... and they weren't worth the wait.
Crowded yes, but nice nonetheless. – During the evenings the patio is great to sit and watch 5 Points unwind after a workday. Nights are pretty awesome as well. They have a great internet jukebox. Lots of the Strokes playing so that was a major plus. Their happy hour beer selection excludes alot, alot of beers and they have very little worth drinking on top. It is a pretty small place so it can be crowded and a little smokey, but finding a table or place to congregate was never a real problem. The crowd seemed to be mostly UAB residents and staff. I am usually visually the youngest person there by far (19... fake), but cool trendy place nonethless.
There's a reason it's lasted – This place has always been a good place to unwind during the week, and the patio is an awesome place to people watch. Weekends can get a little crowded, but overall, it's great. There is a reason this place has lasted in Southside for as long as it has. See for yourself.
sorority/frat hangout... – if thats what your into its a good place, i went there and was bored out of my mind, loud music, no space just a clusterbeep of kids trying to score.
the prices were jacked to the roof no dancing, just some video games and thats it i don't get the hype?

The Associated Press
Gadget lovers still can't resist the iPhone's seductive call, even amid a bevy of enticing lower-priced alternatives that offer similar features.
A sales clerk pulls out an iPhone 5s for a customer during the opening day of sales of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5C, in Hialeah, Fla., on Friday.
The Associated Press
In a Monday announcement, Apple Inc. said it sold 9 million units of its top-of-the-line iPhone 5S and less-expensive iPhone 5C during their first three days on sale. That trounced the performance of last year's model, the iPhone 5, which sold 5 million units in its opening weekend.
The initial sales figures for Apple's latest iPhone models provided the latest testament to the product's enduring appeal more than six years after the debut of the first iPhone triggered a mobile computing revolution.
The iPhone 5S and 5C's quick start also surpassed analyst forecasts that predicted Apple would sell somewhere from 6 million to 8 million models during the first weekend.
"The demand for the new iPhones has been incredible," Apple CEO Tim Cook crowed in a statement. As part of the company's effort to drum up interest in its most profitable product, Cook made an early-morning appearance at an Apple store in Palo Alto, Calif. on Friday when the new iPhones first went on sale.
Monday's positive news helped generate more interest in Apple's stock. The shares gained $23.23, or 5 percent, to close at $490.64.
Despite that rally, Apple's stock price remains slightly below where it stood before the Cupertino, Calif. company's Sept. 10 unveiling of its latest iPhones.
The downturn reflects concerns that the new phones won't be enough to reverse a slowdown in Apple's revenue growth that has been brought on by tougher competition from Samsung Electronics and others. Apple's rivals have been gaining market share by selling less expensive phones running on Google Inc.'s free Android software. Those nagging worries are the main reason that Apple's market value has sagged by about 30 percent, or $200 billion, since last year's release of the iPhone 5.
Part of this weekend's higher iPhone sales volume stemmed from Apple's decision to make the latest models available on a broader scale than in past years. For instance, this marked the first time that a new iPhone has gone on sale in China at the same time that the product also launched in the U.S.
But the opening sales numbers also served as "a powerful reminder of the strength of (Apple's) iPhone franchise," ISI Group analyst Brian Marshall wrote in a Monday research note.
In another sign of the intense interest in anything new from Apple, the company also said more than 200 million devices have already switched to its latest mobile operating system. The software, called iOS 7, is the most radical makeover of Apple's mobile operating system since the iPhone came out in 2007. Apple released iOS 7 as a free update last Wednesday for iPhone models dating back to 2010, iPads dating back to 2011 and the last iPod Touch that came out last year.
The downloads of iOS 7 during the first five days of the software's release roughly doubled the amount of installations after Apple release iOS 6 last year.
Apple could have sold even more iPhones during the opening weekend if the company had been able to deliver more of the 5S model, which sells for $199 with a two-year wireless contract. A new gold-colored model introduced with the 5S line was in extremely short supply, much to the frustration of many shoppers who waited in long lines Friday to buy one.
